It looks like most agree that it's ok for him to have as long as we have clear rules. He'll only be able to carry it during camping and fishing trips. We did have a long talk about him feeling the need to show it off or take it to school and i explained lightly some of the things that have been going on in the schools and that it would have huge consequences .
I think the only mistake i made was not talking to her first. it was kinda a last minute thing. I had the knife in our fishing gear and it's small and figured it would be great for him while camping. So i called him in and had the talk and gave it to him. then we picked a safe place for him to keep it and went over the rules. I didn't mean to step on her toes but it just happen.
I'm sure if we had girls she would be dressing them up and putting on make-up why before i thought it was time. I say let boys raise boys ..
